It mainly revolved around a little-known crosstalk troupe on Beiwei Road - Wanchun Association. Aimed at reflecting all beings through the little people in the small place, the "actors" in the process of honing their skills constantly changed the understanding of crosstalk, the mentality of fame and fortune, and the understanding of the relationship between actors and audiences. The show also hoped to show the audience the story of the crosstalk performers on stage and behind the scenes. On the stage, the performers laughed and cursed each other to achieve success. Off the stage, they were humble, friendly and tolerant of each other. "There is no honor on the stage, but there are rules under the stage", which displayed the unique reversal charm of crosstalk with a panoramic mode in three-dimensional way.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
